Smiths Detection becomes the first and only supplier to receive
this prestigious approval, setting an industry benchmark and
reinforcing its position as the most trusted, reliable and
innovative partner for innovative detection technology. The
algorithm was rigorously tested, verified and validated by the
Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), a
European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) certified test
centre.
iCMORE APIDS uses AI to identify a wide range of prohibited
objects at airport security checkpoints, automating the detection
of an extensive list of prohibited items while bags pass through CT
security screening machines. The algorithm provides invaluable
support to security screeners, enhancing security and creating a
faster and more seamless experience for passengers.
This unique achievement empowers Dutch airports to deploy
advanced detection capabilities with complete confidence, knowing
they are equipped with the most reliable tools to detect prohibited
items and fortify security at checkpoints. It also marks a major
step in our journey towards full automation and alarm-only viewing,
reducing manual screening interventions, and enabling our customers
to achieve substantial operational savings.
Cymoril Metivier, Global Director Digital at Smiths
Detection, said: “This certification reaffirms our commitment
to being best in class, offering unmatched and proven capabilities
that meet the highest certification standards - setting a new
industry benchmark as the trusted partner for cutting-edge
detection solutions. We remain committed to leading the way in
delivering innovative and revolutionary solutions that elevate
passenger safety and experience, ensure compliance with the highest
and evolving security standards and safeguard critical operations
across the aviation industry.”
A letter received from Robert Moerland, Head of Civil Aviation
Security at NCTV, states that the outcome of the national
certification test shows the APIDS software met the strict criteria
of APIDS standard 1 and the additional Dutch national detection
requirements for APID software standard 1.
The approval confirms that the Smiths Detection APIDS algorithm
meets both the EU APIDS Standard 1 requirements, as outlined in
Attachment 12-M of EU Decision C(2015) 8005 and the additional
Dutch national detection standards specified in the “national
additional detection requirements for security equipment.”
